life book writing
If you don't like my book, write your own. If you don't think you can write a novel, that ought to tell you something. If you think you can, do. No excuses. If you still don't like my novel, find a book you do like. Life is too short to be miserable. If you do like my novels, I commend your good taste.

Book tours are like boot camp but with little sleep and less food.
book writing write-your-own
If you don't like my book, write your own.

You can love more than one person at a time, and I don't give a damn what the self-help books say.
laughing lucky bookstores
So much of life is happenstance. It makes me laugh when I go to a bookstore and see all those titles about controlling your life. You're lucky if you can control your bladder.

When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began.

Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.
best life mean next
I have no idea what will come next in my writing life or life in general. I like not knowing, but I know what I want. That doesn't mean it will happen, but I'll give it my best try.
assess great literary social work
I don't think you can ever assess your work. I don't think Turgenev could assess his any more than I can assess mine, and his didn't have a social impact as much as great literary impact.

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.

The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.
bad experience good judgment
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
love life being-yourself
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
writing views pay
I write poetry. It comes naturally to me, but from a technical point of view it forces me to pay close attention to language and to scan.
